Closed borders cost traffickers 100 million

 


Greek Migration and Asylum Minister Notis Mitarakis has claimed that people traffickers have lost up to 100 million people due to the reduction in the number of migrants arriving in Greece.

The Migration and Asylum Minister said Greece had only seen 12,000 migrants arrive this year, up from 74,000 in 2019. This, he said, would have cost traffickers of illegal people 100 million.

He added that Greece had taken decisions on 60,000 asylum applications this year. He added that the new structures being built for migrants on the Aegean islands would have a maximum residence of six months, Proto Thema reports.

The transfer of migrants from the islands, mainly composed of vulnerable people and children, has already started. Mitarakis said only recognized refugees would be transferred, not those awaiting their asylum decision.

He also commented on the recent fire at the Moria migrant camp on the island of Lesvos, saying the blaze was caused by arsonists who wanted to be transferred off the island early.

Greece has seen a rapid decline in new migrant arrivals since the start of the year, when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan opened the doors to Europe in February. The Turkish president then closed the border area at the end of March to stop the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus.

Despite the closure, there have been sporadic reports of Turkish officials seeking to help migrants cross the border in the Evros region. Earlier this month, the Greek press published photos purporting to show Turkish border officials monitoring migrants attempting to enter Greece.

The Greek government has said it will strengthen and expand its border barrier to deal with future migrant surges.

GreekDeputyMinister ofMigration andAsylumGiorgos Koumoutsakos warned this month that pressure from migrants is increasing in the region and that he expects a new potential threat from Erdogan if the EU decides on sanctions against Turkey at a meeting to be held later this month.
